Our exploration of the Old Town Plaza will begin with coffee, tea and biscochitos on the balcony of our home, looking out over the original town square and historic San Felipe Church. We will overlook history as well, and gaze back from the Tewa people on who’s land Old Town was built, to life on the plaza during the Spanish, Mexican and American colonial periods. Next we will undertake a walking tour of the plaza with a focus on the old adobe architecture and the stories associated with the buildings and smaller placitas that make up Old Town, using historical photos and visuals to support the information. This stroll will include secrets and lore unknown even to most Albuquerque residents, interaction with some of the "old timers" that live and work here, and pointers what to see and do and where to eat, tailored to the needs and interests of each group. Old Town is a valuable community resource and there are frequent impromptu happenings- quinceaneras, vintage car parades, etc. The tour will embrace these spontaneous events as they occur making the visit to Old Town even more vibrant and personal. Finally, at the end of the tour experience, participants have the option of being served lunch at La Placita Dining Room in the Manuel Armijo House, one of the oldest structures on the Plaza, built in 1706. Please contact for custom tour times. Se habla espanol. Other things to note As planned the tour involves one flight of stairs.

Discover the authenticity of the ancient horse/human partnership. This experience gives the opportunity to delve into the emotionally sensitive, empathetic nature of the horse-beyond the horseback ride. In this experience, we'll observe herd behavior; horse personalities; learn basic horse communication; participate in interactive empathy exercises about the use of the halter and lead rope as it relates to horse communication; intentional focus; then, implement the combination of these processes as you work with the haltered horse on lead rope; and finally, experience authentic partnership-relationship with the horse without lead ropes. The unbridled, reflective relationship-you can do this! Through these graduated steps, you will discover physical listening skills, the power of observation, balance between predatory and prey nature, coherence, and relationship insights. Ultimately, the biggest take away in this event can be the unveiling of powerful insights about yourself. This experience can be tailored to fit your date & preferences individually or as a group from age 5 to adult; individuals; families; retreats; and business development.

Have you ever noticed that you feel better after being outside? Scientific studies are now showing that time in nature can lower blood pressure, reduce stress, and improve your sleep and creativity. In this guided experience, you will unplug from the stresses of daily life and enjoy spending time in the high desert foothills of Albuquerque. This is not a hard hike and not really a nature walk either. In fact, we may barely cover a mile and it will involve plenty of sitting. This is good for people of all physical abilities, who might be a little hesitant to explore the outdoors on their own or who want to unwind and slowdown. And don’t worry….this is not religiously based, you aren’t required to share any of your thoughts if you don’t want to and there will be no awkward drumming sessions! Instead, we’ll use the sweeping views of the mountains and valley to hone your quiet observation skills, give you some time to de-stress and perhaps you’ll trip over some emotional insights along the way. There will be several segments, each with a different focus, and we’ll end with a cup of coffee in the outdoors. The hope is that you will come away feeling a sense of well-being. **** Since this is an outdoor experience in an area with plenty of open space and we will be arriving in separate vehicles, it is naturally 'socially distant' !! A perfect way to reboot your mind. Other things to note Pit toilets are at the parking lots, but not along the trails. Allow extra time to pay for parking and use the bathroom
